Device Backup without Enable mode

FormerMember

Hi There,

Was wondering if anyone knows how to diable the requirement for entering enable mode?

I am using v3.8 at the moment and have a device which does not require enable mode to backup config.

Thanks

Eugene

You probably just need to update your custom device script so that Function EnterEnableMode() returns True.

Function EnterEnableMode()

EnterEnableMode = True

End Function

This will then effectively skip over this function call.

If you want you can add a message within the functions call too which will add a message to the Info Log pane.

Function EnterEnableMode()

cl.Log 4, "Skipping enter Enable mode as not applicable for device"

EnterEnableMode = True

End Function

Steve

What is the device (vendor and model)?

Which CatTools device type are you using?

The device is a Dell EqualLogic Storage Array

I have used a custom device template and everything works, eg connecting and logging in with the exception that it errors when awaiting to enter enable mode which it cant because the CLI does not have an enable mode.
